   [telecom] Congress moves to preserve AM    
   18 May 23 12:48:36   
   
   From: dannyb@panix.com   
      
   Background: Electric cars, thanks to their motors   
   and circuitry, cause lots of radio frequency interference.   
      
   If done cheaply, this badly crashes any attempt to   
   listen to an AM radio.  Hence many car manufacturers   
   are choosing the skinflint option of simply not including   
   AM radios in their vehicles.   
      
   There's been plenty of kickback, and now Congress   
   is starting to, maybe, get involved:   
      
   [Axios]   
      
   Scoop: Congress moves to preserve AM radio in cars   
      
   A bipartisan group of lawmakers wants to make it illegal for carmakers to   
   eliminate AM radio from their cars, arguing public safety is at risk,   
   Axios is first to report.
